RE: API to perform full-text search

I am new to Lucene, and there may be a better way, but I use a field 'all' in which I put any and all text that I want to be searchable across all fields. This is in addition to the other fields for directed searches.

Re: API to perform full-text search

Posted by Anthony Eden <me...@anthonyeden.com>.
Take a look at org.apache.lucene.queryParse.MultiFieldQueryParser.  It 
allows you to past a list of field names to search on rather than just a 
single field name.

Sincerely,
Anthony Eden
